David,
If you let me have two players in same spot in batting order with no substitution penalty, here is what I am going to do:
R1 on 3rd, my double batter spot is up in the batting order. One is fast and a good bunter with no power, the other is slow with power. I opt for the bunter. Two strikes later she couldn't put the bunt down.
"Blue, may I have time?"
I bring in the power bat looking for a sac fly. She singles, and guess who's coming in to run?
You had better at least force me to use a sub if I am running them in and out, just like I have to do with the current dp/flex rule.
Come to think of it, under current rules, would I be allowed to sub in a new batter for a batter that started but did not complete her turn at bat and there was no injury? Not sure that I would ever do that to a player but its good to know if the option was there.
